ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL 2013–2014 Cover: GIUSEPPE PENONE Italian, born 1947 Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012 Bronze with gold leaf 433 1/16 x 96 3/4 x 79 in. (1100 x 245.7 x 200.7 cm) Museum purchase funded by the Caroline Wiess Law Accessions Endowment Fund 2014.728 While arboreal imagery has dominated Giuseppe Penone’s sculptures across his career, monumental bronzes of storm- blasted trees have only recently appeared as major themes in his work. Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument.

It was 50 years ago. “Men in grey flannel suits” and the military-industrial complex President Eisenhower warned about were the dominant voices. Bob Dylan had just released his first record and the folk music movement was emerging, but the old order maintained cultural hegemony. Nuclear Armageddon was in the air. On the Beach, a movie about a group of Australians attempting to come to terms with the imminent total destruction of life after a global nuclear war, was in theatres. Plans were afoot to install a bomb shelter in the basement of Burling Library. The Russians were setting off nukes like cherry bombs, and the United States was about to resume atmospheric testing as well. According to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock, it was 7 minutes until midnight.

    Recent Acquisitions: Inclusive and Diverse, February 18, 2000-April 16, 2000 For more than a century, The RISD Museum has been actively collecting art from all ages and cultures. This is consistent with the shared mission of the Museum and School of Design to promote "the general advancement of public Art Education, by the exhibition of works of Art ..." In any given year, several hundred objects enter the permanent collection through donation, purchase, and bequest. The Museum's holdings included approximately 80,000 artworks at last count. Visitors often wonder why museums acquire some works of art and not others. This exhibition presents a selection of objects acquired over the past five years by the Museum's six curatorial departments: Ancient Art, Asian Art, Costume and Textiles, Decorative Arts, Painting and Sculpture, and Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. Other recent acquisitions are displayed in the Museum's various permanent collection galleries. For this exhibition, the labels accompanying each object take a new approach. In addition to identifying the artist, date, materials, and donor's name, each label explains why a particular object is an appropriate addition to the Museum's collection. Among the often cited reasons for acquiring works of art are: • to augment existing collection strengths • to extend the range of holdings into new areas of collecting and to respond to an expanding and culturally diverse audience • to support teaching at the School of Design, a priority that sets The RISD Museum apart from many other art museums • to present works of strong visual impact -- beauty as its own reward There are many objects whose fragility does not allow extended exposure to light and air (for example, textiles, watercolors, and silver).

  • AMERICAN Ceramic Circle
    AMERICAN Ceramic Circle SPRING NEWSLETTER 2016 The American Ceramic Circle (ACC) was founded in 1970 as a non-profit educational organization committed to the study and appreciation of ceramics. Its purpose is to promote scholarship and research in the history, use, and preservation of ceramics of all kinds, periods, and origins. The current active membership of approximately five hundred is composed of museum professionals, collectors, institutions, and a limited number of dealers in ceramics. Member interest is focused on post-Medieval pottery and porcelain of Europe, Asian ceramics of all periods, and ceramics made, used, or owned in North America. The ACC is chartered in the State of Maine as a 501 (c) 3 Corporation and is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees. Thank you for all your contributions to this edition of the Newsletter.
